Both would be brilliant things to do, how much "vacation" time do you have P.A?

Three weeks, I think. That includes holidays when my office is closed like Christmas, New Year's Day, etc. I'm really bad about taking days off here and there. It's hard for me to get time saved up.

Ahh fair enough, it might be good to just book something giving you no other choice! There so much out there to see!

If I moved from Detroit, I'd miss the detroit style coney island hot dog and chili cheese fries with mustard.

I do miss the super fresh croissants and truly RIPE fresh bananas in French Polynesia

Did you have any of the Pineapple? The Pineapple I had in French Polynesia was unreal, never had anything close since. It is unnaturally sweet and juicy.

I would add Tahitian Poisson Cru to the list as well. Made fresh on a motu with fresh grilled pineapple FTW.

Ahhh yes Poisson Cru was really good too!! I've made it at home, but still not as good. And yes pretty much all the fruit we had was wonderful

Sadly, I am denied lawn darts because a large segment of our population shouldn't be allowed to breed. Lawn darts are removed from the market to protect the stupid people.

I need to go back to FP, it gets in your head and does not go away, know what I mean? Especially during the winter, can't imagine what it would be like to come back to Detroit from FP, Seattle is bad enough.

Yeah trust me it's really hard...I've been to Australia as well as FP and FP is just overwhelmingly amazing. Sucks that it's so expensive. We went to Bora Bora, would love to go back and see Huahine and Moorea and maybe Tahiti proper if it's was away from Papeete

If I lived somewhere besides the Gulf Coast, I'd say crawfish. A good crawfish boil is awesome.

Also... Do you guys get cold glass bottles of Milk delivered to your door? If not that, I'd pick that over my other thing I listed about moving to America.
